It is beyond dispute that physical activity is good for us, but
what are the benefits, challenges and impacts of sport on health?
This is the first book to focus on football in the context of
health from individual, public and population-level perspectives.
Football as Medicine examines the effects of football training on
the three main types of fitness (cardiovascular, metabolic and
musculoskeletal) and on specific target populations (for example,
children, type 2 diabetes patients, cancer patients, people with
mental health conditions, the socially deprived and older people).
It discusses the significance of football for public health and
assesses the efficacy of football interventions by clubs and
community sport development programs. With its multi-disciplinary
approach, this is a valuable resource for students, researchers and
practitioners working in physical activity and health, public
health, health promotion and medicine, as well as football and
sport business management, sport and exercise science, and the
sociology of sport.
